I'm needing to rent a bucket truck and I'm having difficulty finding one.
I actually saw a bucket truck the other day with some rental name on it, but I never got close enough in traffic to get the name/number.
What I can find and don't want; Articulating boom trucks/lifts, push around lifts or scissor lifts.
I need a traditional bucket truck - a truck or a van with a bucket lift built-in to it - think OG&E bucket truck.
I'm on 2.5 acres with large mature trees and I want to cut the dead limbs off them. The cheapest estimate I got from a tree guy was $7,000. At that price I can buy a used bucket truck!
I've tried the push around lifts before and they won't work. The ground has to be very level and the leveling arms tear the crap out of the ground and driveway.
I've considered the self powered articulating boom trucks/lifts, but they have to be delivered via a semi and I was told they will be very hard on my ground and have a large turning radius.
Does anyone here know where you can rent a traditional bucket truck?
I've located a couple of used ones on Craigslist I may go ahead and buy if I can't find a rental.
